Printing the DCS: BS Manual.

[Cosmonaut]

Very nice! :thumbup:

 

How much did it cost you all in all? (paper, ink, folder, time, ...)

 

For the folder + Ink + paper it cost approximately [£4 to £5] or [$6 to $7].

 

Time? ..hmm well my printer is pretty slow so I just printed the first ten odd or even pages then reversed the paper and printed the other side five pages at a time. This way I was never in the room waiting or anything so after a couple of days it was done .. hard to say how long in time but it took up about 2 hours over two days of my time in total.

How did you get the paper/ink/folder so cheap?!

[Boberro]

It is really cheap, only 4-5 pounds.

I bought in bulk from stores like ebay and COSTCO.

 

When I say bulk, nothing crazy or anything, I mean like 6 sets (a set being black + color) of ink cartridges which worked out to about £0.95 or $1.30 per cartridge from an ebay store [i could have used refills too]. And I got a box of 120gm paper from Costco (box = 8x 250 sheets].I used about £1.20/ $2 worth of that becasue I printed back and sides so it took up around 200 sheets.

The most basic HP colour printer which cost £70! Ink is expensive in the UK if you use proprietary brands.

If I think about the costs, time and work, I will buy the spiral ED book.

And DCS-ED did the job, guys, they give us the pleasure of be a ka-50 pilot.

I've purchased the russian electronic version, and I will buy the multilang box version.

Good Job, guys!

You can see why I too really want us to print the manual as quickly as possible!

Just a note PC world is the most expensive place to buy PC related stuff. It's like shopping in Harrods just for milk ;) . Only use PC World to see what things look and feel like before you actually buy them online :) .

 

I don't know the exact model of your printer but have a look through these and see if you can find cheaper ink for your printer; http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1311&_nkw=hp+ink+cartridges&_sacat=See-All-Categories If for some reason you don't like ebay then I can bet there are other online stores that will sell it at a fraction of the price of PC world.

 

Buying in sets and doubling up reduces shipping costs sometimes. Also if the ink is really cheap and not from the official manufactures, like the ink I used then it may not be suitable for glossy photo paper. However it will print on plain paper just as good as the official stuff. I have two grades of ink one for photographs and the other for documents but it never costs me the in store RRP.

I printed the manual on my HP4050 but I will be buying the one ED produces just to support them. the number of hours I have spent flying the Ru version instead of being out in the bars has already saved enought money to buy the manual
